Troubleshooting 

If you experience problems after installation, there is a simple test to help diagnose the problem.  

Simply unplug the wiring harness from the back of the Commander module and 

put a bent 

paperclip into blue and yellow terminals of the harness’ plug 

(jumper the blue and yellow 

together).  This reconnects the wire that you cut at the transmission plug and bypasses the 

Commander completely.
